Note that in replcomps, the Fcc only appears if you specify "repl -fcc

Here's another idea that I sent to Glenn in a private message.
I'm not saying that it's better than any of Bill's suggestions;
it's just another idea.  BTW, I tested it now (my Linux box is
back up) and it seems to work:

Ok.  replcomps already includes the line "%<{fcc}Fcc: %{fcc}\n%>", so
I'll check the others if there's agreement for the change.

But, by default, that doesn't make an Fcc: copy, I think -- unless the 
user puts something like -fcc +sent-mail on the command line.  (I'm not 
on Unix now so I can't check; sorry.)  You could add that switch to the 
default MH profile file, but I'm not sure people would like that?

Another possibility (though it might mean changing the explanation of 
replcomps in the mh-format man page you just committed...) is to change 
replcomps to have something like

Fcc: %<{fcc}%{fcc}%|+sent-mail%>

which (if I got the syntax right, which I can't check...) would output 
any -fcc switch argument, else +sent-mail.  Since the "Fcc:" would be 
output regardless, I don't think the \n should be embedded in the string.
